Astrophysicist Abhas Mitra's theory on black holes is again the news after NASA announced that two of its space telescopes have caught a massive burst of X-ray from a super-massive black hole. Excerpts from an interview with TOI.

Q. Some reports say NASA has confirmed your idea that the so-called black holes are balls of fire. But you say that's not exactly ...

A. Yes. The NASA report does not mention my research and admits that `Black Holes are not Black Holes'. But the NASA research certainly bolsters my findings because eruption of corona from a black hole is not understood, as admitted in the NASA report. On the other hand, it gets most naturally explained by the MECO paradigm by which the socalled black holes are balls of ultra-magnetized fire (plasma) -something like the Sun. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/h...w/49966468.cms

If you read the whole article, you will find that the reporter is not the least interested in the black holes, only in whether there is a controversy/ dissatisfaction that they can exploit
